Nmap is a utility for port scanning large networks, although it works fine
for single hosts.  It supports many different scanning techniques and has
a number of performance and reliability features such as dynamic delay time
calculations, packet timeout and retransmission, parallel port scanning,
detection of down hosts via parallel pings, and flexible target and port
specification.
